Rainn Wilson: Hot or Not?

It’s so easy to love Dwight Schrute. Usually it’s not in a “Hey, I’d marry Dwight Schrute” kind of way, because nobody in their right mind would want to move in with Mose and Dwight in their Pennsylvania Deutsch, Nazi war criminal grandparents’ beet farm. As one external Office character who slips my mind once [...]

Free Download Alert: Sigur Rós’ “Gobbledigook”

I’d like to start off by saying that Sigur Rós is one of the best bands ever. Their show at Massey Hall was the only concert I’ve ever gone to by myself, and it was hands down the most incredible live performance I’ve been witness to. In fact, I think seeing them alone is almost [...]

Willy, il Principe di Bel-Air

Two years of university-level Italian, and I can only pick up about a quarter of this? I know he said something about basketball and then a Spike Lee film.
Will Smith piace fare i canestri, ma Carlton non piace fare i canestri.
Holy crap, I just googled “Zio Phil” and a clip from the episode where Uncle [...]

Creepiest Moment in This Month’s Issue of Fashion

Flip to p.108, where Fashion talks to “a few of the city’s coolest men about what they find truly alluring in a woman.”
Fashion asks their round table of investor/new media-types who they would rather go out on a date with: Elisha Cuthbert, Belinda Stronach, Perdita Felicien, Estella Warren, or Alanis Morisette. Jeremy*, age 37, says, [...]

Awesome Faces Cats Make When They Eat Grass

Well, in all fairness to my cat, I got this pre-arranged planter filled with grass and other non-florals for his chewing pleasure. But man, did he ever not let me down.
Four others behind the cut that are certainly worth the click.

Photos of TV

It’s endless LOLs over here on Mike Sacks’ Photos of TV. I should probably start doing this, considering that I work from home and have been known to indulge in daytime television.

Illustrator Sidenote

I created this graphic for a Torontoist post I did today about the Scott Pilgrim movie. Basically, I inserted Mary Elizabeth Winstead into the SP4 cover scheme, as she will be playing Ramona Flowers, and I needed something to go with the cutesy real life actor/character mash up I did for a previous post.
I’m posting [...]

The Rapids of Lanark County

Last weekend, Pete and I had a weekend getaway/family engagement in Almonte, Ontario. With me being a die-hard Torontonian who obviously thinks everything to do with Ottawa and its surrounding areas is lame, I wasn’t expecting much. However, I was completely romanced by the natural beauty of Lanark County and its charming historic mill towns.
Fun [...]

Faces of Toronto: Photographs by John Beebe

How was your weekend? I spent my Friday evening as an artist’s assistant at the CONTACT launch party. Nestled into the back corner of Brassaii, fellow Torontoist staffer John Beebe began his first of five appearances around the city in a mobile portrait studio/photo finishing centre/gallery. Check out John’s website throughout the month as he [...]

New Justice Video

justice stress (official video)by 75_prod
Yeah, at first I was like, “Where are animated typefaces and the goodtimes?” but after about a minute in, I was mesmerized. I’m still mostly at a loss for words, so I’ll leave the explanation up to Vaneska at Bif! Bam! Pow! Zap!
…the video is a flashback and commentary on the [...]
